<< our whole ideology is A Mental Disorder Yes, a certain poster by the name of Michael Madigan tends to use this phrase a lot. It seems to be used as a replacement for rational discourse. Why bother debating the real issues, when a simple phrase can be used instead.

But if you then asked the conservative what the real source of the problem was-the beating heart pumping blood to each and all of these socio-politico-cultural wounds-you'd get the same answer: liberalism. On the other hand, you could ask a liberal a hundred questions about the problems facing our country before you'd get to an answer that placed conservatism at the heart of the nation's ills. And conservatives learn these messages when still young. What does a "campus liberal" do? Well, it depends what his or her issue is: fighting sweatshop labor, or environmental degradation, or the Iraq war, or any of a dozen other problems about which liberals are concerned. What, on the other hand, does a "campus conservative" do? Fight liberals and liberalism. You can hear it in the media as well. As any fan of Limbaugh, Hannity or O'Reilly hears every day, whatever the issue is, the problem is liberals. Conservatives write books saying liberals are The Party of Death , who are Trashing Democracy, Waging War Against Christianity , ,Screwing Up America, Corrupting Our Future-and on top of it all, our whole ideology is A Mental Disorder. Liberals, on the other hand, write books about why George W. Bush is a terrible president.
